Hopefully this is just the introduction that let's Ash catch up with the his competition. He does have history with all seven of them

Can we please get the older, old forum back?
Nice! Imo, this is going to be a straightforward tournament. No roundrobin shenanigans or 'losers-brackets'.

This will be the reunions and opening ceremony and likely showing off the first match-ups. No battles yet.

Ash's battle will be a single episode, the other three quarterfinals will be bunched into two other episodes. The semi's can be full battles over two and one episode and the final will likely be 3 episodes.

Meaning a league with a length of 10 episodes including this one.

If it will start earlier, i'm expecting for 2 battles with 6 vs 6. I hope here will similar like to Alolan League - everyone get battles on full screen times.

Pretty much every league except Alola has skipped battles that Ash or his rivals aren't involved in. Skipping every non-Ash or Leon battle would be par for the course.
That’s because every league except for Alola was compromised of a lot of no-name characters.

The reason we saw every battle to some extent in the Alola league was do to the top 16 being composed of all named and previously established characters.

The fact that the Masters 8 is comprised of previously established named characters and there are only characters means there is a good chance that we could see every battle to some extent.
